This time last year everything was imploding. I didnt necessarily think we would go down, but I was prepared for it.

What Ashley has done, so far as I am concerned, is rip the optimism out of us: its a spectacular performance over the season, but who is expecting miracles next year? The excitement that we should be feeling isnt quite there.

It's not just Ashley - it's football in general.

Last time we were promoted we finished 3rd, which was a good achievement, but there's no chance of it these days. No way at all. Teams who finish in the top 6 of the PL can't even make that push for the top 4. What chance does a newly promoted side have? If anything, with a lack of spending, we'll struggle to stay up. Another relegation and all these players who stayed will fuck off and we'll be ruined, that's why the main aim next season is to stay in the PL.
